If you don't piss the aliens off (running, attacking, being a dick) it is very likely that you can get away. Just try to (talk-)roleplay with K'Hara, don't give the aliens a reason to dislike your existence, and you will be completely fine.
Players that run / remain silent are very likely to get shot at.
So far, that kind of behaviour managed to save the lifes of those individuals that encountered K'Hara. However, if you character does things the aliens dislike, you might end up dead aswell. But that rarely happens.
Kudos to you if you make the days of nomads more fun by not running like 95% of the transports (which end up dead because they ran without a word after you tell them multiple times to stop in many different ways.)
